And the sign says "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" So I put my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said you look like a fine outstanding young man, I think you'll do So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that, huh, me working for you" Chorus: Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs Fuckin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight" So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the house Hey! What gives you the right! To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in If God was here, he'd tell it to your face, man, you're some kind of sinner Chorus: Oh, say now mister, can't you read You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat You can't watch, no you can't eat, you ain't supposed to be here And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" - uh! Solo: And the sign says "Everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray" But then they passed around a plate at the end of it all And I didn't have a penny to pay So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own fuckin' sign I said, "Thank you Lord for thinking 'bout me, I'm alive and doing fine", oh Chorus repeats 2x: Yes! Some old song, called "Signs Signs", I wish we did write that one, but We didn't - wow! Alright |

Just about a year ago, I set out on the road Seekin' my fame and fortune, I'm lookin' for a pot of gold Things got bad and things got worse, I guess you know the tune Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again I boarded on the Greyhound, and I'm walkin' there, by the road I was just passin' through, it must be seven months or more I ran out of time and money, it looks like the two were friends Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Solo: Man from a magazine, who said I was on my way But somewhere I lost connection, I ran out of songs to play I planned many times of one-night stands, it looks like my plans fell through Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again If I had a million dollars for every song I've sung Or every time I had to play while people slapped their tongue I know I'll catch the next train, back to where I live Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again There we go, get ready! |

What a drag it is, getting old "It's so different today", I hear every mother say They just need something today, for confidence And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And the kids are all away, it's a blue and busy day "Things are different today", I hear every mother say Couldn't crash before her husband, such a drag So she buys a [risen] cake and she burns a frozen steak And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And the kids are all away, it's a blue and busy day Oh doctor, please, I'm [on my knees], outside the door she took for more What a drag it is, getting old When you stop and save today, I hear every mother say They just don't appreciate that you've retired They're so hard to satisfy, lookin' tranquil at your mind And goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper And forgets her through the night, helps to minimize her flight Oh doctor, please, I'm [on my knees], outside the door she took for more What a drag it is, getting old When you stop and save today, I hear every mother say That this mood of happiness is such a bore If you take some more of those, you will get an overdose You'll go running for the shelter of your mother's little helper And forget to run away Hey! Uh-oh! I fucked up there a little bit, please don't tell Mick! Alright!

Stormy night under dead black skies, Billy pulls into town Thunder rolls and the lightning bolts come crashin' to the ground Cold as ice, hard as stone, as he walks into the room With another man who was feeling the same way, all hell's breakin' loose Chorus: Bang bang, shoot 'em all, bang bang, blow you away It's a showdown in the no man's land, for the cowboy of the modern day Come a sundown, don't be hangin' round, 'cos the cowboy'll blow you away (I could blow and this bad boy Jones), on the wrong side of the law Johnny Dee and his company, always fast to the draw, yeah Get so lean, feelin' so mean, tryin' to take my winning share 'Cos all they saw was ruin, oh, the smell of blood was in the air Chorus: Solo: So here we are and we've come this far, but it's only getting worse Foreign lands with their (terrace) demands, only cost a good heart The U.S.A., the U.S.S.R., with their six-guns to their side I see the message written on the wall, to my chain-gun deep inside Chorus: It's a showdown |
